Tapping the Audience

With Lia Rousset

We invite the audience to slip on a pair of tap shoes and create an audible acknowledgment of the physical patterns of viewing, amplifying the museum experience. As the audience navigates the exhibition, their approaches, pauses and retreats become solo sound performances. As multiple people view works, they not only become aware of their own experiences through the movements of their bodies, they also become attuned to the sound movements of others and collectively create a spontaneous new work. Perhaps most importantly, the museum viewing becomes joyous and playful.
